Breathing only in the middle of the chest, through the heart, (no side lungs left) hearts push against a bone cage sunrise like i am not worthy we are not worthy with a reconciliation of cheap water wine and a two cent vocabulary the world finds its place behind the cloudy cancer of mortality, singing prosperity, prosperity. and each letter recognizes its purpose the consonants cut the vowels short before the overgrowth trips the text. "They are not like me" they say hesitantly, one of us? one of us.

The Re-Education of Words
Breathing only in the middle of the chest, through the heart, (no side lungs left) hearts push against a bone cage sunrise like i am not worthy we are not worthy with a reconciliation of cheap water wine and a two cent vocabulary the world finds its place behind the cloudy cancer of mortality, singing prosperity, prosperity. and each letter recognizes its purpose the consonants cut the vowels short before the overgrowth trips the text. "They are not like me" they say hesitantly, one of us? one of us.
